Praying Patience

Ripened pain of comprehension
Understanding, ever shy
Discontented pregnant silence
She is young but she is wise

With her face to the wall
Sullen eyes but head half full

Marvellous maker of spaces
Rotting the honey and wine
I'm praying patience
And wasting youth
While I wait for the rest to refine

Search for other compensation
Living softly, can't say no
In the absent explanations
Lives a child who speaks to God

With her face to the wall
Sullen eyes but head half full

Marvellous maker of spaces
Rotting the honey and wine
I'm praying patience
And wasting youth
While I wait for the rest to refine

Hand over hand over sound over silence
Mind undermined understanding there's faith in the fall

Marvellous maker of spaces
Rotting the honey and wine
I'm praying patience
And wasting youth
While I wait for the rest to refine
